qhats everyones favorite SNL skits?  From any time period. 

Chevy Chase parodying President Gerald Ford

Gilda Radner doing 'Gimmie Mick'!(which female singer is she parodying in the skit? I was thinking Patti Smith but I didn't want to get it wrong)

Wayne's World!

Eddie Murphy's HOT TUB parody of James Brown!

Weekend Update!

Celebrity Jeopardy, with Sean Connery...  ;D

"I'll take The Rapists for $2000, Alex!'

"That's not what your mom said Trebeck!"

"I'll take swords for $1000, Alex!"

"What is a leather glove?"

"All on the count of villainy, Trebeck!"


;D

Wayne's World
The Church Lady
The land shark
Any by Eddie Murphy

Christopher Walken - "I need more cowbell" - in the skit with BOC recording "Don't Fear the Reaper".  Will Ferrell was over the top.

I like the fake commercials the best! Especially the ones for Buckwheat's compilation album ("Hi, I'm Buh Weet, remembuh me?") and the one for trapdoors.

I watched SNL mostly in the 90s. I liked:

David Spade doing the Hollywood Minute. It was so funny hearing him do those mean celebrity jokes!   ;D

Dana Carvey imitating the first President Bush.

Some classics:
Land Shark
Killer Christmas Trees
Killer Bees
And the one with the giant lobsters.

I always like Emily Latella (Gilda Radner). She always called Chevy Chase "Chedder Cheese".  Some of the ones that I can remember is "Sax and Violins" on t.v., and "Busting school children".  "Oh, that's different. Never mind."

Then there is Point/Counter Point- "Jane, you ingorant slut."

But that one that truly got me was when Jane Curtain ripped open her shirt. (I think that had something to do with the fact that I used some "leafy substance" at the time.  ;) )

Anyone remember the SNL episode when Paul Simon was dressed up as a turkey?

Eddie Murphy - Mr. Robinson's Neighbourhood

Chris Kattan and Will Ferrel - The Butabi Brothers

Jon Lovitz - The Liar

Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest - "I Hate When that Happens"

Billy Crystal - Fernando "You Look Mahvelous"

There was one from 1984 that always cracked me up where the idea was the Three Stooges teached a karate class.  Joe Piscopo played Curly Joe, and in one scene, his pants fell down, which wasn't part of the script.  That just killed me laughing  ;D

I wasn't a regular SNL watcher, but I did enjoy most of the fake commercials, as stated above; aside from that, I did watch some skits with Eddie Murphy on Comedy Central a few years back; they were pretty funny.

Then there is Point/Counter Point- "Jane, you ingorant slut."


They made fun of that when they parodied the Point-Counterpoint debates two politicians had (Was it Bill Clinton and someone else?) but they had someone say "Bill, you ignoranat slut."  ;D

Here are the things I remember and liked as a kid watching SNL throughout the years:

Jack Handy commercials

The Church Lady

Toontsies The Driving Cat

Pat: Is it a she or a he?

Wayne's World

Dana Carvey's Impressions of Presidents, etc.

Martin Short's Ed Grimely

Han's and Franz (We're Gonna - Pump - You Up)

Dieter (Sprockets)

Linda Richman

and so many more...

Wil Ferrel and Cheri O' Terri  as the Cheerleaders

Molly Shannon as the Catholic School girl

David Spade & Chris Farley as the Gap Girls  ;D

  The "Pepsi Syndrome". Dan Akroyd playing Pres. Carter; "I'll be o.k. Roslyn, I got my little yellow booties on". Then he grows to monstrous proportions. Also many of the ones already mentioned, especially from the first 15 years.

How could I have forgotten the "Pepsi Syndrome". That was classic.

Celebrity Jeopardy, with Sean Connery...  ;D

"I'll take The Rapists for $2000, Alex!'

"That's not what your mom said Trebeck!"

"I'll take swords for $1000, Alex!"

"What is a <a  style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=24&k=leather%20glove" onmouseover="window.status='leather glove'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">leather glove</a>?"

"All on the count of villainy, Trebeck!"


;D



"I don't remember but you're mother's a whore"

"It's a Frickin hammer!"

And my all time favorite

"Is the Tea, hot or cold, hot or cold?  Here is your hint"
(Ricky Martin Singing) "Hot hot hot hot hot"
"Yes Sean Connery"
"Was it iced tea?"

I wasn't a regular SNL watcher, but I did enjoy most of the fake commercials, as stated above; aside from that, I did watch some skits with Eddie Murphy on Comedy Central a few years back; they were pretty funny.
One of their fake ads touted a "Love Toilet" for couples...

There was a skit with a guy in a bathtub that liked to draw pictures...

There was a skit with a guy in a bathtub that liked to draw pictures...


I remember it.  It was either Al Franken or Mike Myers.  Almost positive it was Mike Myers.  I think his name was Simon, and he said, "Draw" really funny.

I also love the Bass-a-matic, it was funny but gross!  ;D

Christopher Walken - "I need more cowbell" - in the skit with BOC recording "Don't Fear the Reaper".  Will Ferrell was over the top.


Classic!  ;D

I like the fake commercials the best! Especially the ones for Buckwheat's compilation album ("Hi, I'm Buh Weet, remembuh me?") and the one for trapdoors.


Totally agree about the fake commercials, those were the best!  I especially like when Jane Curtin did them, she's a natural.

I liked mostly everything Gilda Radner did. 

Eddie Murphy's Mister Robinson's Neighborhood and I'm Gumby Damnit!

The Butabi Brothers (Still love Night at the Roxburry)

Loved "Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, No fries - chips, No coke - Pessi" skit

and of course - Samarui whatever skits always cracked me up

Of the guest hosts - I liked Christopher Walken's "The Continental" skits - funny stuff

Wayne's World is also another favorite of mine!  ;D

One of their fake ads touted a "Love Toilet" for couples...

...which was designed just like the Addams Family's "Love seat." ;D


I also have heard/seen some of the political satires. Dana Carvey's impersonation of Bush the Elder is funny; I think he's also impersonated G.W. Bush.

E.T. parody with Tim Kazurinsky as Elliott, and Mr. T as E.T.'s father!
The Mr. Bill Show
The Coneheads
Ed Grimley
Fernando's Hideaway
Wayne's World
Hanz unt Franz
Sprockets (with Dieter)
"I hate when that happens!" (Billy Crystal, Cristopher Guest)
The Church Lady
The crazy pill-popping lady (Cheri Oteri)
Drawing with Simon (Mike Myers)
President Ford (Chevy Chase)
"Big Red" (toy commercial spoof, toy is a plastic lumbrjack that sprays red goop everywhere)
"Simmer Down Now!" (Cajun lady, Cheri Oteri)

"Once upon a time there were lots of people. That's all I wanted to say."

"She's choppin' broccoli"


;D ;D ;D




Cat

"Once upon a time there were lots of people. That's all I wanted to say."

"She's choppin' broccoli"


;D ;D ;D




Cat


I love the broccoli one!

I also like this newer one where this hobo has a script for a movie, it was funny...

-Jon Lovitz as the lier

I cant remember any more

Some of my favorite skits are:

Dan Akroyd & Steve Martin (Two Wild and Crazy Guys)
Gilda Radner as Emily Latella ("Nevermind")
The whole Nerds skits with Bill Murray and Gilda Radner
The skit with the syncornized swimmers (Martin Short and Harry Sherer).  Martin Short cracked me up.  And Christopher Guest as the choreographer was classic.
Molly Shannon's Mary Catherine Gallagher
The "Happy Fun Ball" commercial (anytime I see those medicine commercials on TV all I can think of all the disclaimers during the Happy Fun Ball commercial)
The Gumby Christmas Special with Eddie Murphy as Gumby and Julia Louis Dreyfuss and Gary Kroger as Donny & Marie who make out on the special. 
The skit with Phil Hartman as Frank Sinatra, and Sting as Billy Idol (Sting did a great Billy Idol)
The Christopher Walken Blue Oyster Cult skit ("Can we have more cowbell?")
The Spartan Spirit Cheerleaders

Oh yeah, I forgot "Deep Thoughts...by Jack Handy."

What about Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley auditioning for Chippendale's?

There was this other one with Martin Short as Katherine Hepburns cousin, the Hot Dog vendor, and another where Short played a nervous lawyer who kept saying, "I know that...I'm not getting defensive, why is it always the other guy who's getting defensive?  Maybe you're getting defensive.  Changing the subject?  Of course I'm changing the subject, 'coz it's boring, it's boring stuff you're talking about..."

that one is histerical

I might be insane, but I hate Martin Short.

OMG, I just remembered another Martin Short as Katherine Hepburn skit.  It was Kate * Ali with Martin as Katherine Hepburn and Billy Crystal as Mohamad Ali.  :P

Ah, yes.  Martin Short as "Nathan Thurm," the sweaty, chain-smoking lawyer.

Also, there was one about 10 years ago with Nicolas Cage as an expectant father who was debating with his wife what to name their unborn son, and every time she'd suggest a name he'd find the lamest reason why other kids could make fun of that name. Then the doorbell rings, and Rob Schneider (as a deliveryman) is standing at the door. "Package for Mr. Asswipe," he says. Nicolas Cage gives him a dirty look and says, "No, that's Oz-WEE-pay."  ;D ;D ;D

I still wonder if anyone else besides me remembers the SNL skit with Paul Simon(who also was the musical guest) dressed up as a TURKEY...?

And the 'Love Toilet" was supposedly sold at Bamberger's....yes that was a real department store chain that got bought out by Macy's!

I still wonder if anyone else besides me remembers the SNL skit with Paul Simon(who also was the musical guest) dressed up as a TURKEY...?
I've seen that--Paul Simon seemed kind of bitter.  ;D

Also, the infamous "Jingleheimer Junction" skit from a few years back was really funny.

http://planetwill.jt.org/media/video/98-09-26-jingle.jpg

Alec Baldwin was one of the funniest guest hosts. He had a recurring skit where he played a man named "Pete Sweaty," and he would go on some local public radio show hosted by two middle-aged ladies (I think Ana Gastmeyer was one of them) to talk about his receipes for his "Sweaty Balls" or his "Sweaty Weiner." Inevitably one of the ladies would sample his concoction and say, "Mmmm...your Sweaty Weiner feels so good in my mouth..."

He was also on the "Inside The Actor's Studio" spoof, and he did a dead-on impression of Charles Nelson Reilly (most well-known for his regular appearances on the 1970's game show "Match Game") that had me falling out of my chair.

I still wonder if anyone else besides me remembers the SNL skit with Paul Simon(who also was the musical guest) dressed up as a TURKEY...?


There was a more recent one in which Paul Simon and his agent are auditioning dancers, and these two geeky guys are doing awful pantomime to all his hits.  It was hysterical, but I can't recall the actors who did it.  They did one like that with Sting also.




I might be insane, but I hate Martin Short. 

I'm a big fan, but I wouldn't begrudge anybody for hating Martin Short, especially after the Jimminy Glick Show.  I found Glick hysterical in a perverse way because it annoyed the cr@p out of me at the same time!

That reminds me of another Short character, the songwriter Irving C. Cohn.  He was a spoof on the old Tin Pan Ally guys.  Cohn boasted of writing over ten thousand songs...but they all sounded exactly alike:  "Gimme a C, a bouncy C!"
You might still be insane anyway.
;D


OMG, I just remembered another Martin Short as Katherine Hepburn skit.  It was Kate * Ali with Martin as Katherine Hepburn and Billy Crystal as Mohamad Ali.  :P

Yeah, yeah, I remember that!  I liked that one because it was just kinda...weeeeird!


Ah, yes.  Martin Short as "Nathan Thurm," the sweaty, chain-smoking lawyer.


Thanks, "Nathan Thurm," that was the name! 
Around the time Short was doing that sketch, I saw the president of Phillip Morris on TV, and he was talking just like Nathan Thurm.  I think it was "60 Minutes" or something.  The reporter was asking him how he felt about his product making all those people sicke, and the guy was like: "Sick?  What do you mean 'sick'?  I smoke, my wife smokes, and my children smoke.  We're not sick, nobody's sick!  You can't prove smoking makes anybody sick..."  All the while, the PM guy was taking copious drags of his cigarette!
Oh yeah, another thing Thurm used to say:
"Is it me, or is it him?"

Trivia:  Does anybody know why "Weekend Update" was renamed "The Saturday Night News" in the early '80s?  I never knew why.

that was the second episode I believe

Irving C. Cohn was a funny concept...that was really it.  Nathan Thurm was kinda funny.  I really got annoyed with Ed Brimley though

That's Ed Grimley

http://sctv.org/characters/edgrimley/edgrimley.jpg
"Pat Sajack ought to be a pretty decent guy, I must say!"

Alec Baldwins' last name in the skit was Schwetty.

Paul Simon dressed up as the turkey and then sang Still Crazy After all These Years while in the costume.

My favorite was a short while back with Rachael Dracht as Debby Downer which started the others in the scene to laugh and they keep bringing her back now.

Most annoying are the one joke political bits..opening the show or take offs of court hearings. 

Somebody already mentioned Chris Farley,
You'll end up living in a VAN down by the RIVER!
But I just wanted to say how much it reminded me of my dad!
;D

Who remembers the ad spoof "Handi-Off"?  It was a product for dissolving extra fingers.  You know how you've hated that unsiightly sixth finger all your life? 
There's a part where a guy says to Victoria Jackson, "Pick you up at six?," and she raises her hand and proudly announces, "Let's make it five!"
And don't forget about new "Toe-Riffic"!

Another ad spoof I liked came at the time of the oat bran craze.  A cereal called "Colon Blow."  Poking fun of Total brand cereal's long-running catch, "It would take four bowls of Brand X to get the fibre in just one bowl of Total,"  the ad spoof went, "it would take 750 bowls of your brand to equal the fibre in just ONE bowl of Colon Blow"!  And it shows a guy on a mountain of cereal bowls eating a bowl of Colon Blow.
And don't forget about new "Super Colon Blow...."
;D

Puppy Uppers and Doggie Downers.  :D ;D

Oh yeah, another thing Thurm used to say:
"Is it me, or is it him?"
I remember Nathan Thurm from another skit where Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest were the "Minkman Brothers," who were the leading producers of novelties (like fake dog poo and whoopie cushions), and Mike Wallace (played by I forget who) was investigating their claims that shoddy knockoffs of their products were being produced in sweatshops in Third World countries. Nathan Thurm was representing the companies whose novelties were made in sweatshops, and every time Mike Wallace would pin him down he'd say, "I know that! How could I be so ignorant as to not know that?"

How about the adult undergarments called "Oops, I Crapped My Pants!"  ;D ;D ;D

What about Bass-O-Matic?  ;D

http://www.winostuff.com/Pictures/bassomatic.jpg

or James Brown's Hot Tub?  ;D

http://photos.yafro.com/pics3/i/20051010/10/1/6/c/16c068046f7a154fdbcef1932bae387b200510100_full.jpg

Or The Joe Pesci Show, with Jim Breuer as Joe Pesci and Alec Baldwin as Robert DeNiro?  ;D

Excuse me? "Irritating"? Did Mad freakin' Max just call me "irritating"?

;D

I liked the Joe Pesci Show in which the real Joe Pesci showed up with Robert DeNiro!

I liked the Joe Pesci Show in which the real Joe Pesci showed up with Robert DeNiro!


Me too!  ;D

Christopher Walken - "I need more cowbell" - in the skit with BOC recording "Don't Fear the Reaper".  Will Ferrell was over the top.


I have a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!

I liked the show hosted by Conan O'Brien where he dressed up as Right Said Fred.  That killed me :D

That's Ed Grimley

http://sctv.org/characters/edgrimley/edgrimley.jpg
"Pat Sajack ought to be a pretty decent guy, I must say!"


where the hell did I get Brimley from? lol

where the hell did I get Brimley from? lol

Eh, easy to get B's and G's mixed.

There was one "Weekend Update" where they had "Jan Brady" as a guest...

And the Church Lady..."Could it beeeeeeeee.......SATAN!?!"

Hans and Franz "We're gonna pump(hand clap)you up!"

One SNL I absolutely HATED was with MC Hammer as both host and musical guest...There were better rappers around than Hammer(head)...

And I still have to wonder why the people who get the hosts for SNL went with Jeff Gordon when they got a NASCAR driver to host..IMO I don't think he was all that funny..but the man is POPULAR which is why SNL probably picked him.

IMO. The funniest skits are the Bill Brasky ones.

"If you put a phonograph needle to Brasky's nipple, it plays The Beach Boys Pet Sounds."


Basically anything with Will Farrelll is gold. His Robert Goulet, "Behind The Music" with the Blue Oyster Cult ( More Cowbell is a classic).

And who can forget him playing Harry Carey? LOL "Would You Eat The Moon If It Were Made Of Ribs?"

I still wonder if anyone else besides me remembers the SNL skit with Paul Simon(who also was the musical guest) dressed up as a TURKEY...?




I remember Paul Simon in the turkey outfit... I don't remember the skit

What about Bass-O-Matic?   ;D




ah, the Bass-O-Matic... that must be pretty tasty!


Hey, what about that Roadkill Restaurant commercial where you bring in dead animals and they cook it for you?

I remember Paul Simon in the turkey outfit... I don't remember the skit


it was from the second episode I believe...the skit was, he was suppose to come out on stage in the turkey constume and sing one of his songs (i forget which one..I think it was "The 59th street bridge song"), but he sings two lines and then gets really angry and walks off stage where he is confronted by Lorne Michaels.  He tells Lorne that it just doesnt feel right that he has to sing this song dressed as a turkey, but Lorne convinces him otherwise. 

I think that was it. 

Anyone remember the Church Chat with the "Church Lady" (Dana Carvey) right after the Jimmy Swaggart scandal?
???
She had Jimmy Swaggart and Pat Robertson as guests (not the real JS and PR, if only!, that would have been awesome.)  That was my favorite Church Chat.
Swaggart (sobbing): I let down my people, I let down my family, I let down my church, and I let down my Lord...
Church Lady: Didn't we let something else down, too?
Swaggart: What?
Church Lady: Our pants!!!
Swaggart: (sobbing outburst)
Robertson (simpering): Now, Church Lady, I...I think you're being a little hard on Reverend Swaggart, now....
Church Lady: Now, Patrick, hush up, give Mr. Mouth a rest!  Now, Jimmy, let me help you atone...(takes his hand)...Now you're back in the that motel room with that tramp, litt-el Jimmy out of the pulpit, picture a pair of round bulbous buttocks gyrating, they're just gyrating away, back and forth...Are you picturing it?
Swaggart: Y-Yes.
Church Lady: (slapping Swaggart's hand) STOP!!!

That's an inexact rendition of the banter from memory.  Actually, I think it's when Robertson starts to say, "Now, Church Lady, I was more of a tele-journalist than a televangelist..." that Church Lady tells him to "Give Mr. Mouth a rest!"
Also Church Lady leads them in singing "If You're Happy and You Know It," in which Swaggart sings a sobbing solo, and Robertson sings a giggling solo.  Anyway....
:-\\




Also, the sketch from the late '80s, "Chicken make lousy house pet," has been on my mind since the new panic over the Asian bird flu!

it was from the second episode I believe...the skit was, he was suppose to come out on stage in the turkey constume and sing one of his songs (i forget which one..I think it was "The 59th street bridge song"), but he sings two lines and then gets really angry and walks off stage where he is confronted by Lorne Michaels.  He tells Lorne that it just doesnt feel right that he has to sing this song dressed as a turkey, but Lorne convinces him otherwise. 

I think that was it. 



I remember that one.  He started singing "Still Crazy After All These Years"  After the first few lines of the song, he stopped and began to tell how humiliating it was standing there singing in a big turkey outfit and I think talking about how he didn't remember agreeing to this part of the act.

One of my favorites was the skit of MTV (Julia Louise-Dreyfuss as Nina Blackwood) interviewing the rock group, the Garage men, with Jim Belushi, Brad Hall and Gary Kroeger.  They didn't have an album yet but they did have a  video. "We don't want to sell records, we just want to have chicks.."

Another favorite was the skit were Joe Piscopo walks into the mensroom stall, sits down and begins to sing "Under the Boardwalk"  The other three guys in the stalls next to him begin to harmonize with him.

Mr. Robinsons Neighborhood with Eddie Murphy

The skit where William Shatner begins to yell at the Trekkies for being such geeks.

And the film showing the dangers of kids addicted to video games

And of course there was Eddie Murphy as "Little Richard Simmons," singing his updated version of "Tutti Frutti":

I know a gal named Daisy,
The b!tch is fat and lazy...

;D

Here's some of my favorites:

Eddie Murphy doing "Buh-Wheat Sings the Classics".  ("Wookin Pa Nub...")

The Alpo commercial where Akroyd smacks his wife in the head with the can when she wonders if it is good for their dog. ("Whap!  Read the label!...")

The advertisement for the Custom Deluxe II automobile, where the ride is so smooth you can perform a circumcision while driving down a cobblestone street. ("Perfect!...")

The spoof on those Total Cereal commercials, where SNL advertised a product called Colon Blow  ("It would take 300,000 bowls of your breakfast cereal to equal the fiber in one bowl of Colon Blow...")


;D ;D

  The skits with Billy Crystal were great....."You look Maaavelous", "Know what I hate?" He also did a fair Sammy Davis jr.
  Remember when Rich Hall did the Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime" skit?......."You may ask yourself, why such a big suit? You may ask yourself, can this suit be taken in? You may ask yourself, does this store have any mirrors? You may ask yourself, did I get a bad deal?"  I was rolling on the floor over that really big suit he wore.

Here's some of my favorites:

Eddie Murphy doing "Buh-Wheat Sings the Classics".  ("Wookin Pa Nub...")

The Alpo commercial where Akroyd smacks his wife in the head with the can when she wonders if it is good for their dog. ("Whap!  Read the label!...")

The spoof on those Total Cereal commercials, where SNL advertised a product called Colon Blow  ("It would take 300,000 bowls of your breakfast cereal to equal the fiber in one bowl of Colon Blow...")


;D ;D

Colon Blow was one of my favorites...and don't forget new Super Colon Blow!
Also, remember Adobe, the clay car?

I think my favorite Eddie Murphy sketches were "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" ("Now, children, we have our word of the day, what's black and Puerto Rican and has my eyes?  B-A-S-T-A-R-D...Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll sell this brat tomorrow for a cool one grand!")
and "James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub"
("HA! Gonna git in the hot tub! Owww! Too hot in the hot tub!")

the fake ads for 'Gangsta B*tch Barbie'

the skit with the George Bush the first..about when he barfed at some important dinner...

Wayne's World

Firing Line skit with Eddie Murphy(early 1980's)

Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy....

Best SNL commercial EVER is the one for "Oops I Crapped My Pants"

http://www.devilducky.com/media/24589/

Mister Short-Term Memory

my favorite SNL skit was JInglehimer Juction and and I remember cracking up laughing of that skit

stop me if these are already on here -- bill murray as the pot-bellied hercules who's past his prime. they even do the bad dubbing. ("i cannot lift that rock, it is too heavy. i could lift a smaller one.") and the one where it's siskel and ebert (ebert cuz, you know, it was back in the day) only they're reviewing adult films for gay men. (they always have  the same review – "i was interested, then i was VERY, VERY interested, and then suddenly i was...  not interested.")

my there is this other favorite skit on SNL actully two before I go on this this during the hight*sp of the OJ trial one is when Dana Carvey was guest hosting the show and he was the late great Johnny Carson (remember this 1995) and carson was OJ attorny for the day then during the season another favorite this time Marrisa Tome was guest hosting and she plays her My cousin vinny caritter*sp and funny

Who remembers the ad spoof "Handi-Off"? It was a product for dissolving extra fingers. You know how you've hated that unsiightly sixth finger all your life?
There's a part where a guy says to Victoria Jackson, "Pick you up at six?," and she raises her hand and proudly announces, "Let's make it five!"
And don't forget about new "Toe-Riffic"!

Yes, i've seen that one too. Kinda disgusting, but funny. :P



Another ad spoof I liked came at the time of the oat bran craze. A cereal called "Colon Blow." Poking fun of Total brand cereal's long-running catch, "It would take four bowls of Brand X to get the fibre in just one bowl of Total,"  the ad spoof went, "it would take 750 bowls of your brand to equal the fibre in just ONE bowl of Colon Blow"!  And it shows a guy on a mountain of cereal bowls eating a bowl of Colon Blow.
And don't forget about new "Super Colon Blow...."
;D

I think the announcer was asking the man eating the cereal how many bowls equaled the fiber content of one Colon Blow bowl; the man kept guessing small numbers until the announcer said, "Not even close...it'd take more than 30,000 bowls of your brand to equal the fiber in just ONE bowl of Colon Blow!" And the mountain of cereal bowls pushed up from underneath the man, who was sitting in the chair. "And to get that much fiber," the announcer continued, "you'd have to eat ten bowls a day, every day, for 8 1/2 years!"
Man (from on top of the mountain): "Wow! I'm convinced! I guess Colon Blow must be the highest-fiber cereal on the market?"
Announcer: "Not anymore. There's Super Colon Blow. And it'd take over two million bowls of your cereal to equal the fiber content in one bowl of Super Colon Blow."
(And the mountain of cereal bowls grew even higher.)

What about Bass-O-Matic? ;D

I've seen that one, with the guy putting a fish into a blender and turning the fish into a drink.


Or..."Hi, I'm Mel, from Mel's Char Palace, where you cut your own beef, you slice it to your specifications" (something like that). I especially liked the segment with "Mrs." Mel using a chainsaw. ;D

Yes, i've seen that one too. Kinda disgusting, but funny. :P

Speaking of disgusting, did you ever see "Pre-Chew Charlie's"?
:P

Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest in the famous "I hate when that happens" sketch used to get pretty disgusting with the descriptions.  "You wanna talk about some pain, the other day I took that, uh, miniature replica of the empire state building and shoved it up my nose, just to see how far it would go...," and so forth.  Too bad it was on network TV, otherwise they could have brought all manner of private parts into the banter!
:o

stop me if these are already on here -- bill murray as the pot-bellied hercules who's past his prime. they even do the bad dubbing. ("i cannot lift that rock, it is too heavy. i could lift a smaller one.")


I forgot about that one.  It was great!

Uhm...no. My dad has a videotape with lots of SNL commercial spoofs, and I don't think that one's among them. :-\\

Also, remember Adobe, the clay car?



Oh yeah!! If you get into an accident, you can conveniently repair it! :D

Debbie Downer w/Lindsay Lohan......Rachel Dratch is awesome in this skit.

I don't know what the skit was called but it had Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer as radio hosts.  When Alec Baldwin (as Pete Schweddy) was on their show....WOW!  Funny stuff!

What about....

That's a good one! ;D But I haven't seen it. I've just read about it in my dad's SNL book.

"Baseball been beddy beddy good to me."


  I was watching the 1975 World Series on ESPN Classics(The Red's won too, same as in '75) the other day and that phrase just popped in my head. Garrett Morris is the forgotten Not Ready For Prime Time Player. Remember when he played a con and sang "Gonna get me shotgun and shoot every whitie I see.............? ROTFL.

did anybody see the real old one with, i think it's dan ackroyd and jane curtain, dan's this unscrupulous seller of unsafe children's halloween costumes.

JANE: "now we move on to our next toy, 'johnny human torch' -- now this is just a bunch of oily rags and a lighter."
DAN: "that's right, one flick and 'woosh.' lights up the night."
JANE: "now surely, you have to admit that this toy is not entirely safe for children."
DAN: "look, jane, the world is a dangerous place. i could be driving home in my convertible tonight and a gust of wind could blow my tie in my face and i could choke! gak! so don't give me any of that unsafe stuff."
JANE: "okay, let's move on to this next item, 'johnny invisible pedestrian'..."

hysterical.

I just thought of another one that I kinda enjoyed...but it wasn't a commercial spoof. Is anyone familiar with the Stewart Smalley character? I didn't see it, but I do know that the character, played by Al Franken, was part of a SNL skit entitled "Daily Affirmation With Stewart Smalley," from the early 90's. The routine was later spoofed on a real series of radio commercials for Glendale Federal Bank until they went out of business in 1998. His tag line, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!", was a signature line.

I like the fake commercials the best! Especially the ones for Buckwheat's compilation album ("Hi, I'm Buh Weet, remembuh me?") and the one for trapdoors.


Hey Jeff, it's cool you're into those too! I was kinda surprised to run across this post (in a good way). :)

I remember there was about a half hour block of those airing on SNL back around 1993. My dad told me how funny they were - we each in fact, taped our own copies of it at the same time (I still have mine. The other is probably in our garage somewhere too).

They mostly featured the "classic original" cast of Chevy, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd etc, so I'm guessing they were from the late 70's (meaning they were already classic by that time) and probably not all shown at once.

Off the top of my head, I also liked the "Chia Head" one. ;D

Now, I believe, the "Chia Head" is a real product...but it's just like the Chia Pet, in that the plant sprouts up from a wooden block. The (real) "Chia Head" block is shaped like a human head.

And I do remember seeing a special of commercial spoofs one time back in 1993.

^ The Chia Head is real?

I bet that makes that mock commercial alot less funny now, LOL! Moreover, I wonder if the inventors of the real ChiaHead got the idea from SNL, or even know about it? ;)

^ The Chia Head is real?

Well, yes and no. The one you saw is NOT, but the one that's designed just like a Chia Pet is real, like I just mentioned.

I'm wondering about that now too...

And there's all kinds of Chia- products out there now. Chia Garfield, Chia Clown, Chia this, Chia that...

I remember one skit with Gilda playing a little girl who was having a fantasy about having a show of her own. It was called "The Judy Miller Show".  At the time I didn't think it was too funny but with Judy Miller in the news these days, I think watching it now would be hilarious.





Cat

What was the therapy show featuring the pop psychologist with the Brooklyn accent?  Signiture line: "You didn't look at yeself!"

I still wonder what female singer Gilda Radner was parodying in the 'Gimmie Mick' skit...

Anyone remember the "Star Trek" parody? There was even a shot of the old NBC Peacock as part of the skit!

Gilda was parodying Patti Smith.


Oh yeah, I had forgotten about the Star Trek parody.  That was classic like when they all moved back and forth to "simulate" the moving of the ship. Or when Chevy Chase was trying to do the Vulcan grip after the show was cancelled and it wouldn't work.

wow, that sounds hilarious. of course, nothing can really beat the original, when they all rock back and forth on the bridge to simulate getting hit by a photon torpedo or what have you and william shatner's looking all purposeful and resolute. man!

I just thought of another one. Steve Martin and Dan Akroid going on, "What the hell is that?" They kept repeating it over and over again. The only they said differently was, "Hey, you kids, get away from that." And then would say "What the hell is that?" again. It was kind of stupid but I was lmao.

Was it Akroyd or Murray? I remember that skit, funny stuff.....What the hell is that deal?. Oh, I know what that is......Wh..What the hell is that? Weren't they supposed to be drunk bums? LMAO

Did anyone mention Martin and Akroyd as the swingin' Chzecoslovakian brothers. Remember them always talking about the ladies' "ample American breasts"  and their own "bulges"? "We are 2 wild and crazy guys"......LOL

He also did a great Ross Perot.

And somewhere along the way someone would say "Hey, cats can't drive cars", the cat's eyes would go big and its mouth would drop (a fake cat of course), and there would always be a crash...

I remember that one. It was on back in '89 or '90. I used to work 3rd shift then and 2nd shift always brought in a small tv and would leave it on when they left...

(It's amazing the things we remember out of all the crap)

They were so funny back then they could do simple stuff like that and it would work. It was funny.

Cat

I think there was an episode that was a spoof of the 1992 Presidential debate; Carvey played both GHW Bush and Ross Perot in that one (David Spade also portrayed Perot), and "Bill Clinton" was played by the late Phil Hartman :\'( (who also impersonated other former presidents, I believe).

My favorite guest is either Alec Baldwin or Christopher Walken.  These are some of my favorite skits.
